Chapter 151: The Grandmaster's Melancholy
"Mo Gaiyun."
Li Changkong called out.
"Yes?"
"Go to Fang Che's house and inform his maid that Fang Che is recuperating at the Martial Academy these days." Li Changkong instructed.
Mo Gaiyun hesitated for a moment, "Should I tell her the truth?"
Li Changkong also hesitated, then said, "We don't know if Fang Che will wake up, and even if he does, we're not sure if he'll recover fully. In this situation, it's best to be honest."
"I understand."
"But make sure the maid understands. It's better to wait a few days, and then notify his family after Fang Che wakes up."
"Alright."
Mo Gaiyun turned and left.
"You all go back to your classes. If there's any news, I'll have Mo Gaiyun inform you."
Li Changkong furrowed his brows.
"And you, Bing Shangxue, you're only teaching Fang Che? What about the other students? Go back and do your own things."
"Then, I, Bao Feiyu, and you will take turns. Bing Shangxue, you don't need to come over. We're all grown men here."
Li Changkong made the decision for everyone.
"Okay."
Mo Gaiyun and the others left.
Only the Elder God, Li Changkong, and the unconscious Fang Che remained in the room.
Li Changkong's face was somber, while the Elder God's expression, after everyone had left, actually improved."
"Are you worried about this kid?"
Li Changkong sighed, "It's no small matter."
"It's not a big deal," the Elder God said assuredly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Li Changkong was surprised, "Why are you so sure?"
"Just trust me," The Elder God smiled, "Don't talk about this outside, just keep that sad look on your face."
"..."
Li Changkong couldn't help but feel speechless.
Where do you get your confidence? You want me to keep quiet, but even if I do speak, someone has to believe me!
...
Outside.
Yu Zhongge was instructing the family's expert, "Hurry up and get me some Heavenly Materials to help restore the Divine Soul. The rank doesn't have to be too high, Fang Che's cultivation is at the Great Grandmaster level, and his Divine Soul is at most General Rank, so get materials according to that standard."
"Yes, Young Master. What else do you have in mind regarding this matter?"
Yu Zhongge paused, then said, "Regardless, we must find the whistleblower. With someone like that in the team, we can't develop properly."
"I'll mention this to the family head when I report back."
"Good. Then send the Heavenly Materials for restoring the Divine Soul as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Mo Gaiyun had already contacted the Mo Clan and was on his way to the Scholar's Residence. As he hurried, he instructed, "Peak Great Grandmaster level, General Rank Heavenly Materials for restoring the Divine Soul, send them over as soon as possible, and bring as much as you can!"
"Okay."
Jing Shuogao was contacting his family, "For restoring the Divine Soul..."
Qiu Yunshang, "For restoring the Divine Soul..."
Ding Jieren didn't do this. His family didn't have such resources, and they couldn't afford it.
After leaving, he walked forward with his head down, his aura becoming more and more reclusive.
"Ding Jieren."
Xie Gongping caught up with him.
"Huh?"
Ding Jieren turned and looked at him questioningly.
"About what happened earlier, I was wrong." Xie Gongping's face was bitter, "My thoughts were skewed, but I also wanted Fang Laoda to recover quickly. I really didn't have any ill intentions."
Ding Jieren's sharp gaze fixed on him, and after a long while, he said, "There's no point in explaining to me."
"But they're all ignoring me now."
Xie Gongping anxiously asked, "What should I do?"
Ding Jieren thought for a long time before finally saying, "From now on, practice on your own. Don't come here again."
Xie Gongping was stunned.
Ding Jieren looked up at the sky, at a cloud drifting by, and said softly, "This isn't just about sparring with classmates, or having similar aspirations."
"This is about forming a future team. One that can face life and death together!"
"Maybe you can try finding Mo Gaiyun."
After saying this, Ding Jieren turned and left.
Xie Gongping stood frozen, feeling a chill throughout his body.
Just because of a single word... a single title, he was excluded?
...
At this moment, Mo Gaiyun had arrived at the Scholar's Residence.
He knocked, and Night Dream opened the door.
"It's Mo Young Master, Mo Young Master, my young master hasn't returned yet." Night Dream greeted him respectfully.
Mo Gaiyun paused, then said, "I came to tell you that your young master won't be returning tonight."
"Why?"
"He's injured."
"How severe is the injury?"
"Very severe. It's a Divine Soul injury."
Night Dream became anxious, "What happened?"
Mo Gaiyun had no intention of hiding anything, so he recounted the entire incident, "That's how it happened. You stay and look after the house. If he does return, it'll probably be in a few days."
"I understand."
Night Dream felt a sense of loss.
And a deep confusion.
Even after Mo Gaiyun left, she couldn't snap out of her daze.
How could this happen? What's the point of the Guardian or Protector doing this?
Why did they suddenly create such a situation?
What benefit does this have for future plans? No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand.
But it was time to bring food to Mulinyuan.
Night Dream carried the wine and dishes and went downstairs.
Mulinyuan was healing with all his might, using his cultivation to counter the gun intent, slowly grinding it down bit by bit.
Mulinyuan could even feel how much he had polished off each day.
If the gun intent was as big as a fist, then what he polished off each day was probably only as big as half a fingernail.
But Mulinyuan was already very satisfied.
This proved that Jin She Mao Dong Changfeng's old injury had not fully healed yet; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to feel so relaxed.
If Dong Changfeng was in his prime condition, Mulinyuan estimated that it would take a year to polish off a fingernail-sized portion of the injury he had now.
So Mulinyuan was now very relieved.
When it was time to eat, he opened his eyes, waited for a while, and saw Night Dream bringing the food downstairs.
"Why are you here? Where's Fang Che?" Mulinyuan was surprised.
"Young Master..." Night Dream's eyes turned red, wanting to speak but stopping.
"What's wrong? What happened to him?" Mulinyuan was shocked.
Although Night Dream didn't understand the details of this matter, she was by Fang Che's side, and Mulinyuan was also involved, so the higher-ups were aware of this.
Moreover, there was no intention to arrest Mulinyuan.
In other words, there was no need to hide the matter of Fang Che from Mulinyuan.
So Night Dream, on the verge of tears, told Mulinyuan what Mo Gaiyun had said.
"Young Master was suspected of being a spy at the Martial Academy, so he was targeted and suppressed. First, they investigated, then they made him walk the Heart-Testing Path... and now he's unconscious and won't wake up..."
Night Dream had just finished speaking when Mulinyuan slammed his palm on the table.
Raging, he said, "Damn it! How could this happen?"
"It's said that someone from a big family reported it... I don't know any more than that. The person who came to notify me only said this much. Elder Mu, what should we do? You have to find a way to save Young Master."
Night Dream looked at Mulinyuan with hopeful eyes.
Mulinyuan's face turned gloomy.
He was in a difficult situation himself, so how could he save Fang Che? "Alright, I understand. You can go now."
Mulinyuan sighed.
After Night Dream left, he took out his communication jade and sent a message to the Seal God Palace.
"Grandmaster, a major disaster has occurred. Night Demon has been targeted by the White Cloud Martial Academy and has walked the Heart-Testing Path, and is now unconscious."
...
The Seal God Palace was currently in a fit of rage.
He was furious! Before Mulinyuan's message, he had already received news from the spy.
He even knew more about the inside story than Mulinyuan: "Night Demon has walked the Heart-Testing Path but his divine perception is damaged, and he's unconscious. After checking, it seems very serious. The divine soul confrontation inside must have been extremely intense, and from what I can see, the chances of recovery aren't high."
"How the hell did this happen! These Guardians are utterly useless!"
The Seal God Palace was furious: "Have you found out who did this? You just directly gave him the Heart-Testing Path? Do you still consider yourselves righteous people? You're even more demonic than us, the Demon Sect!"
"A perfectly fine person has been made unconscious, and we don't even know if he can recover. Is this how Guardians treat geniuses?!"
The Seal God Palace was exasperated.
Night Demon was about to break through to the sixth level of the Great Master.
He had just reported the good news to himself.
The Seal God Palace was delighted, seeing that he was about to reach the General Rank...
But in the blink of an eye, this incident occurred!
As for why Night Demon was unconscious...
The Seal God Palace knew it with his butt—because Night Demon was a member of the Unified Heart Sect and had the Five Spirit Puppet, so he endured and didn't expose himself.
Only under such intense confrontation could he become unconscious and have his divine soul damaged.
If Night Demon had betrayed them upon entering, he wouldn't have been so severely injured; instead, he would have died on the spot.
But precisely because of this, the Seal God Palace felt extreme heartache.
However, he also had no solution, and more so than anyone else.
Because he was the Demon Sect Grandmaster, his reach was limited.
He couldn't even send medicine.
He could only wait idly.
The problem was that during this idle waiting, nothing could be done. Everyone knew that this situation was... not good.
Moreover, the issue now was: If Night Demon was truly lost, what would happen to the Incubation to Divinity Program? How could they find someone to replace Night Demon in such a short time?
At this moment, the Seal God Palace truly became an old donkey in the grinding path, spinning around without finding a solution.
Then he received Mulinyuan's message, which only added to his anger, and he smashed the table.
"Zhao Shanhe! I'm going to curse your ancestors! You messed up my arrangements!"
"And that family who reported it... find them! Investigate thoroughly! Today, I, the Sect Leader, will clean up the Guardians' ranks!"
The Seal God Palace was jumping with rage as he sent a message to the spy through the communication jade.
"Keep an eye on Night Demon's condition, check on it timely, and report back."
Putting down the communication jade, he sighed.
"These Guardians are all idiots! This was the line I gave you! Your grandmother!"
"Nothing is going right, and even non-human things are coming to block me!"
"Night Demon is truly... at a crucial time! Damn it!"
The Seal God Palace became depressed.
He felt like he had sighed all the sighs he could sigh in his lifetime.
